“Kate was so good with our pups. They love her and feel very comfortable with her which in turn gives me comfort while I’m away. Thank you, Kate! I would definitely recommend her and will be working with her in the future. I especially love the pictures with you, your questions, and you checking in and updating me regularly.”
“Bonnie is very experienced and did an excellent job at taking care of my dog and her puppies for the day. She sent photos and updates which was appreciated. My dog loved her right away. Would definitely book with Bonnie again!”
“Such a smooth experience! Nathan was so accommodating from the meet and greet, to making another trip just before booking to get all the details, and he provided excellent communication! We were able to get away and enjoy leaving our 3 fur babies (2 cats and a dog) in Nathan’s care six days. He loves his job and takes it very seriously will definitely be using Nathan’s services again! Thank you Nathan, we appreciate you and are so thankful you made everything go so smoothly!”
“Jessica took such amazing care of all my fur babies! She even left my house in better condition than when I had left it!!! She kept me updated every day and sent lots of pics and videos which I loved! Highly recommend and will definitely have her back if we ever need a house sitter!”
“If I could give Kayla a 9 million star review, I would! She went above and beyond in ALL OF THE WAYS while staying at our home with our Great Dane Banksy! She was in constant and detailed communication with us and she sent picture and video updates which allowed us to watch in real time our very shy, sensitive, unsure girl fall in love with Kayla and her daughter! It was so special! 🥰 We actually had to extend our trip due to last minute cancelled flights and our biggest concern, who would take care of Banksy until we got home, was immediately taken care of because of Kayla’s flexibility and understanding and incredible care. When we got home, our house was in even better order than when we left it. She’s amazing. I cannot recommend her enough. Click the button and book her today!! I promise you it’ll be one of the best decisions you make for your fur babies!”
“Vanessa was amazing while watching my dog Cloud!! I could not have asked for a better sitter. She was open to options to allow Cloud to have the best time with her while I was away on vacation. I also loved that she is a vet tech so I know she has the knowledge and training to do what's best if anything were to happen. I would definitely recommend letting her sit your pup, because she treats them like her own!”
“Karla took great care of our dogs and our place. We greatly appreciate her help as we urgently needed care for our furry family members when we had to respond to an emergency out of state. Thank you!”
About: I started as a little kid taking care of my family dogs.As I got older I watched my grandparents dogs over night.Now I have dog name Daisy "Animals aren't just a job for me – they're my entire world! Every day is an adventure filled with wagging tails, purring companions, and the joy of understanding what makes our furry friends tick. My home is often buzzing with happy pets, and I truly believe that living alongside them teaches us so much. This daily immersion in the world of pets means I bring not just experience, but a deep, personal understanding and endless patience to every animal I care for." "When I'm caring for your pets in your home, their safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities. I'm meticulous about following your specific instructions, maintaining routines, and ensuring a secure and comfortable environment for your furry family members. You can trust me to treat your home with the utmost respect and to provide vigilant, loving care so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away."
“Jessica took very good care of my boys while I was out of the state for several weeks. I’ve never been away from them for so long before so I was very nervous but after a few days of checking on them and getting pictures, I knew they were in good hands with Jessica.”
“Trinity was extremely attentive and went above and beyond to communicate through every step. My husband and I had a little bit of a last minute scramble to find someone to watch our puppies and she immediately made all our worries disappear. She asked all the right questions and made sure to give us timely updates throughout the day. She even cleaned up after staying and helped us with some packages and watering plants. She hands down is a perfect option to watch you fur babies and we will 100% use her again in the future.”
“Billie was great! Fast responding and reliable. My Birdie loved spending the weekend with her. I can tell that she was good to my girl and gave her all the extra love and attention she needed.”
“Brittney was awesome this weekend! Marco and Polo had a great time in her care, she texted me updates and sent photos of the pups during her visit. Will absolutely be contacting her again in the future.”
About: I love all animals. I’ve both taken care of and owned all size, age, and breeds. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I am currently working from my home and are afforded the opportunity and flexibility to watch, care for, and/or board your pets at all times! I have a fenced yard and friendly pups that can either be a part of the fun or not. I also have a crate if needed.
“Angel was a fantastic sitter with our dog, Levi, a 70#, excitable, ball of energy! And she did great watching our home over the Thanksgiving weekend! Angel provided plenty of pics of Levi in action and she was very flexible to our varying schedule. I would have Angel watch Levi and our home again.”
“Kayleigh is exceptional. She went above and beyond by addressing a plumbing issue that came up. She took great care of my pets and they love her. I've never seen them take to someone like they did her.”
About: We are dog-obsessed people, and we will love your pooch like our own! Look at our testimonials. We treat our guests like family! Daily walks, pampering, playtime, medicine administration, and pics and videos are included in our price! We had a yellow labradoodle who was our world. We pampered him and couldn't imagine a day without him, but now he has crossed the rainbow bridge, living to nearly 13. We miss them also, but are hoping to welcome furry friends home. :) I have had the company of a furry friend nearly all my life, and we all absolutely love dogs! We have a puppy now; his name is Bru. We can watch your baby whether you are planning to go out for a day, a week, or more... He/She will have the company of my husband, our kids, and me and will never feel alone!! We love going for walks. Playing fetch or just lazing around in the house! We will flood you with pictures and video updates! If your stay is longer than 14 days, we do offer a lower standard rate. Definitely ask about that. For new boarding requests, we require a meet-and-greet to ensure we are a good fit for your pup. We ask that pups be kid-friendly, as we have 2 kids, and we are particularly concerned about safety. Look forward to hosting your precious one! We ask that your pup is KID friendly as we have 2 kids. We need all guests to be up-to-date on all vaccinations! We are excited to get to know your pup and provide a home-away-from-home experience!
About: From the age of 15, I’ve had experience providing care for and walking the dogs of friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience feeding, walking, playing with, and bathing dogs, as well as feeding cats. Additionally, I have a year’s worth of experience with horses. I am currently a substitute teacher for the GISD school district and am looking to keep myself busy and earn some extra cash during the Summer.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,137 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Briggs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Briggs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Briggs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Briggs choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
